ABSTRACT We study the effect of royal status—a historically rooted legal privilege enjoyed by hereditary monarchs and their families—on human longevity, a proxy of individuals' health capital. We disentangle the effect of royal status that encompassed serving as heads of state from that of other royal family members and compare it to their contemporary

Abstract Fairbanks, Alaska is an example of a subarctic city that experiences severe wintertime air quality episodes characterized by high concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2 = NOx). Previous research into these air quality episodes has focused on the impact of surface‐based inversions that trap local ...

ABSTRACT Cranial nerves represent a notoriously complex province of the neuroanatomical landscape of the vertebrates. Here, we offer a selection of the anatomic, genetic, and developmental features of their efferent component that are often misrepresented, ignored or controversial, as a complement to more exhaustive treatments of the subject.

Diatoms–copepods: An evolutionary arms race
Abstract Diatoms and copepods are dominating and diverse groups of phytoplankton and zooplankton, respectively. Diatoms account for 25–40% of ocean primary production, and their main predators, copepods, are arguably the most abundant group of metazoans in the ocean, typically accounting for ~ 80% of zooplankton biomass.

Abstract We present observations of the Uranian outer ring system at near‐infrared and visible wavelengths. Observations with the Keck Telescope were taken in July‐August 2007 at 2.12 and 1.63 μm, when the ring plane was almost edge‐on (ring opening angle B=0.62 $B=0.62$–0.24° ${}^{\circ}$). These data showed, for the first time, the μ ring at infrared

Domination parameters with number 2: interrelations and algorithmic consequences
In this paper, we study the most basic domination invariants in graphs, in which number 2 is intrinsic part of their definitions. We classify them upon three criteria, two of which give the following previously studied invariants: the weak $2$-domination

The Lantern-Bearers of the history of technology [PDF]
Historians of technology need to focus more on studying human experiences of technological change rather than technological objects. Aesthetic debates over ‘realism’ and ‘romance’ in the later nineteenth century suggest that greater attention to the ...

Instead, the novel intervenes in affective textures of happiness and reconciliation, and forms activist and ecological networks of resistance. I build on
